great bike, loving the all black looks, although I'm a sucker for chrome, which doesn't really suit modern Japanese street bikes..

there's one thing that always fascinated me about speed: it boggles my mind when you think that you can actually fly at lower speeds than your bike can reach lol

Mate thats always baffled me when you look at 747's taking off or the new Airbus with its short take off capability with something that weighs that much can actually get up

Thought 'Blades had the pipe under the seat these days.

Or have they gone back to the 'cool seat' arrangement?

Ah me, the Fogarty/Witham/Slight/Corser/Haga/Huewen and Ryder years......not forgetting the lovely Suzi Perry.

Sighs whistfully............

Ah, cheers. I kinda deliberately lost touch with bikes. My brother was severely damaged by a head on with a transit. Still have leathers and knee-sliders though, just in case I change my mind. You never stop riding in your head.
I always said bikes were the closest thing to flying without leaving the ground too.

'anti wheelie control'?? - Nope, sorry, but no thanks!

Edit: Woo-hoo, nice pic, cheers!

Sry to hear about yer Bro..

I've tried hanging up my gloves as it were but they keep coming back out..Ive had fast cars, M3 was my last but it doesn't compare to the thrill of riding. I'm not sure i would commute though, just a fun weekend thing and keep the car for work.

Dont think Il ever be without some sort of motorized 2 wheeler..not while I'm still able to get on one anyway

Yeah, I served my apprenticeship commuting in all weathers on a Z650 in the early '80's (my knees still suffer from the cold), then moved to 'Sunday Biker' status when I bought a GPZ750 Turbo in '87, then had some fantastic times on some sports 2-strokes (KR1S's - best fun per £ ever conceived).
Last bike was a ZX6R.Sold it 6 years ago. As you can gather, I was always fond of 'giant killers'!

I find now though, that to use a bike as I'd like to, I'd end up either banned or damaged, what with speed bumps, speed cameras, helicopters in Wales etc. And of course, Mr Sunday Driver.
So now I try to convince myself that a soft-top is more comfortable in summer as I don't need helmet and leathers. And the air-con is lovely.

Nope, doesn't work, that argument, does it?

Well funny as it sounds i can relate to that..being free, the noise, wind.

Kind of hard to explain unless you ride
